What is an Avatar? [A video by year 3 students]

Today, we will create an avatar for our blog. Our avatar is a representation of us when we are online. It helps to keep us safe by keeping our real identity private. Other people will get to know us by the things that we post and the avatar we use.

What might other people think about you by looking at your avatar? This is something that you need to think about when you create your avatar.

We will look at a few avatars and brainstorm what we think the people who use these avatars want us to think about them and what type of people they are. We will use padlet as the collaboration tool for this brainstorm.

Welcome to my blog!

I have created this blog to support my professional learning program allowing me to model particular aspects of the blogging process. Over time the posts will vary from student lessons and reflective practice to curriculum discussions and technical issues. All posts will be authentic, based on current issues, needs and practice. Perhaps you might find it useful as well________ (2018 Note: As my role has changed, posts on this blog will be occasional..........but still purposeful!!) Cheers,
Deb
